Command in context menu??? [message #325837]

I want to do something very simple: provide the cut/copy/paste-commands
in a context menu of a text widget.

I tried the following (simplified):

MenuManager menu = new MenuManager();
menu.add(ActionFactory.CUT.create(window));
menu.add(ActionFactory.COPY.create(window));
menu.add(ActionFactory.PASTE.create(window));
textWidget.setMenu(menu.createContextMenu(textWidget));

This works until the current selection changed. Then, all three menu
items are disabled. Why?

Any better suggestions?

Those aren't commands, they're actions ... also, they're not the actions
that do any work, they're retargetable actions.

There's an article on workbench actions at
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/ as well as more information in
Help>Help Contents>Platform Plug-in Developer Guide
